Henry P. Ashurst of Arizona has 1 started at Detroit a fortnight's can- 8 i vass of Michigan, with the declara- ? tion that it will be "Wilson in 1916, J1 " and the rest nowhere.' Coming at * the end of a fourteen-thousand-mile 11 tour of the United States, made at i the president's request, and lasting f since March 1 last, Senator Ashurst's t statements were regardod by politi- j clans as significant.

The capture of this town not >nly Isolates the Ivangorod garrison iut cuts the only line of retreat from he Warsaw angle east that still renains open.

Yet the situation is not mate-ially changed from last week. On the western front the Crown Prince has kept up his attack in the fVrgonne, but apparently without remit. As far as is known this attack s not a s rious matter and is not intended to be, as it is made only over i front of six miles and with not more than twenty-five thousand troops. The British have been somewhat Active during the week and in the tricinity of Hooge have taken the first line of German trenches over a front [>f nearly three-quarters of a mile. The depth by which they have penetrated, however, has been negligible. SHUT OFF COTTON (Continued from first page.) Altering the sit.'.its of their rifles, an sxpedient which not even Germany could be prepared to adopt in the course of a great war. He declared that cotton was going Into Germany bv devious rnnips it 1 was sold, he said, to Dutch and Swedish companies under a guarantee that it would not be sold to Germany nr Austria. While technically this guarantee was not violated, Sir Charles contended It was in reality a subterfuge, for the Dutch and Swedish consignees sold the shipments to Swiss companies who, in turn, sold them to Great Britain's adversaries. Sir Charles estimated that a thousand tons of cotton is used every day of the war and lie protested that It was grossly unfair to the English soldiers and twir allies that Great Britain should continue to supply Germany with this commodity. "Had cotton bene stopped at the beginning of the war," he said, "we might reasonably expect to see the war nearing an end." A letter from Lord Beresford was read at the meeting in which he said If cotton had been declared contraband Inst February the war now would be approaching its final scenes and added: "Cotton is still entering Germany. She might just as well be allowed to. Import shells. Neutral powers should be informed that we intend to maintain our maritime rights as a belligerent. Of what use to us is the mastery of the sea unless we profit by Its advantages? "Wo don't wish to hamper the trade of the great English speaking nation across the Atlantic.

The solution of the problem proposed by Lord Beresford would be Tor the British government to buy up the entire American cotton crop and resell afterwards, even If at a loss. appeal' to' mexico (Continued from first page.) The conferees confidently expect within a reasonable time enough favorable replies to warrant them in extending their aid to arrange for the proposed peace congress. Carranza's attitude still is a matter of speculation. Although his nosition thnn for lias been regarded as defiant, It is hoped the friendly tone of the appeal may lead him to open negotiations with the conferees. It generally is believed he will reply by making counter-proposals of some sort. Should Cartanza make no reply whatever, It is expected the conferees will accept the invitation of other Tactions to arrange details for a peace conference without Ills participation. In support of a government not epresenting all of the factions probibly It would become necessary to exend the plans of the Pan-American conference.

The government of Sweden has recently intimated a desire that the United States Join in a protest to Great Britain against interference wlh cable communications between the western hemisphere and continental Europe. These intimations were not in a form that required a direct answer, and it is doubtful that such an answer will be given. But Washington feels that the question answers itself with the statement that the cables are owned by the belligerents. It is safe to say that the American note to Great Britain on the subject of the British blockade will make no reference to interrupted cable communications. All cables connecting with northern Europe pass through the British Isles, and it is understood that their i ownership is British. A British cen nursiiiy ui messages passing over them would, there; re, afford no ! ground for r.n American protest, except In the uhexpected contingency of Interference with American diplomatic communications. At the outbreak of the war, the loop f <m England to Germany was cut, resumably by the Biitlsh, and that was regarded as a legitimate act of war. For many months the United States has been in clos? touch with all the other Important neutral powers regarding the inconveniences imposed on neutral c< winerce by the British blockade. Sweden has been more earnest than the rest In representing her displeasure at the British course. But even Sweden has not suggested that the United States join in any such protest on the general subject of the blockade. The United States has already protested on that score, and the disposition of the smaller nations seems to be to await the outcome of the American negotiations. COMPLETING LAST APPEAL TO THE MEXICAN LEADERS Washington Optimistic Friday Despite Carranza's Refusal to Talk Peace With Villa. State daprtment officials Friday were busy completing arrangements for the dispatch of the Pan-American appeal to the Mexican factional leaders calling upon them to end Mexi co s civil Btrire and assemble a peace I conference. The communication, signed by Secretary Lansing and six Pan-American diplomats and approved by President Wilson, probably will go forward Saturday. It will be addressed to Mexican public officials and military leaders. The delay in forwarding the appeal is due to the fact that officials want it to have the widest publicity throughout Mexico and to that end are determined, if possible, to see that no one to whom it should be sent is omitted from a list that is being prepared. Every efTort is being made to reach the leaders of every movement in Mexico, no matter how small. While Gen. Villa has notified the state department of his willingness to enter a peace conference, the Villa agency announces Gen. Carranza's flat refusal to permit negotiations between his Washington representatives and those of Villa. Official optimism still was apparent Friday despite Carranza's attitude. cording to a statement made by Lloyd-George, minister of munitions.
